Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1075 - Preparations Of The Family Gathering.

The more Li Xue read the details of Su Ce, the more she got impressed with his character. The man was too perfect for this world. No doubt he was the second favorable person whom the people could imagine on the throne.

But she was not on the same page as those people. For she knew that like every other coin, this person also has another face that he has kept hidden from most of the people. Though at the front, he tries his best to show similar qualities like Shin Tingming, behind she has felt the weird selfish, and cunning personality he holds.

A playboy? Check. He was definitely one of his kind.

Knows well of his limitation, yet breaks them often? One couldn't question that one trait of his since it has always been very much evident on his beautiful face.

Skills of using people and situations for his own benefit? After witnessing with her own eyes, Li Xue wouldn't take that one trait of his as an easy one.

Unpredictable and Dangerous? With all the above, won't it be wrong if he doesn't have those two as the necessary pinch of salt in any dish?

Overall, he was certainly a character that couldn't suit the throne and title, yet to other people, he was the most suitable since the prince has the way to conceal his reality well within. But wasn't he being too confident in his play? Did he really think that in the whole gameplay, he would be able to play hide and seek?

Li Xue's lips curled up as she saw the picture of Su Ce in the file. Her gaze has a tinge of sharpness that could easily convey the thoughts running inside her brain. Reaching her phone at the desk, she dialed a number, and just after a few rings, it was connected.

"Hello! How are you guys doing?" She greeted and in return, the person on the other side replied with utmost enthusiasm.

"Boss, you have finally called us again. Does this mean we have a new task to execute? A new challenge?" The person asked and on her words like that Li Xue couldn't help but chuckle on the other side of the call.

"Ahaan! Seems like the bureaucratic jobs aren't serving you guys well. Are there no interesting cases coming for you guys to solve?" She asked and heard the sigh come from the other side.

"What interesting cases there could be, boss. Now we are getting a feeling that nowadays, criminals have almost forgotten to create interesting ways to do the crimes. We are all bored solving the same kind of easy cases. But anyway, since you have called us today, I am sure we will get something interesting to do."

Li Xue shook her head. "Umm … I don't know whether it would be interesting or not. But it's going to be definitely a bit tough this time. Are you guys ready for it?" She asked and the person on the call didn't hesitate in humming in agreement.

"Don't worry, boss. We won't disappoint you. Just tell us what to do and we would definitely be able to do it."

Li Xue smiled. She knew that these people would never let her down. "Okay, fine. Later, I will send you the list of places and a set of dates. Help me find the list of people visiting them at a particular time. That would be all for you to do." She said, and feeling all perplexed at her requirements, the person on the call asked doubtfully.

"What's so difficult in doing that, Boss. It's just a piece of information."

One corner of Li Xue's lips lifted up in a smirk as she replied. "Don't worry, dear. You will understand the difficulty when you receive the details regarding it. I am sure your brain cells would definitely enjoy the exercise." She said before disconnecting the call and looking at the file down on the desk.

Soon after sending the details, Li Xue looked back at the file for one glance before closing it shut with relief. "Let's not take it with hype. We will go slow and steady so that our moves wouldn't alert the enemy." She said to herself and was about to stand up to walk out of the study when suddenly her phone rang with the name of Feng Yi Lan flashing over the screen.

Li Xue's gaze grew small a bit but then receiving the call, she greeted, "Hello, Yi Lan. How are you doing, my dear friend?" She said ready to hear her exploding on the other side and as she had expected, the reply came exactly the same.

As if the volcano had exploded in the west, Li Xue heard the heat in her friend's voice. "Oh, so you still remember my name is Yi Lan and I am your friend, dear? And here I was thinking that you might have already lost your memories of me."

Li Xue smiled awkwardly, before trying to mend up the things. "Haha … how could that be Yi Lan. You are my best friend. How could I forget you?"

"You … you better not sweet talk with me. I am not interested in all your sweet talks. Just tell me where are you? I am coming to help you make the preparations."

Li Xue didn't understand half of her words. But still replying to her question, she said. "Ah, I am at home, resting. You can come anytime. But could you please tell me for what we have to prepare?" She really had no idea about what she was talking about.

Feng Yi Lan sounded irritated on the other side. "You are still asking me that, Li Xue? Don't you remember what is there the day after tomorrow?"

"…" Li Xue thought for some time, but however she thought she could simply not remember the thing she was missing. Maybe in the few days, she has gone busy, all she could think or remember was the matters regarding the royal affairs. Rest there was nothing she could remember. "Yi Lan, a lot is going on in the recent days. So maybe the important thing slipped out of my mind. Can you remind me once?"

She requested with a scared hesitation. To which, taking a deep breath, Feng Yi Lan answered, "Dear, it's the family gathering for which we have to prepare. Did you forget that it will be the first time you would be appearing among everyone as my brother's wife?"

She said and it was then Li Xue remembered.. She has almost forgotten it but luckily, now she has remembered and she could simply not take it lightly.
